Chapter 17: Soul Sucking Sect 2
The liquor store is not big, but it is very stylishly furnished.
As soon as you enter the door, there are two steps, and on the left is the counter where the shopkeeper collects money, and on the right there are several tables.
Looking up at the opposite side is the second floor, with a plaque of "Zuixiang Building" hanging in the middle of the guardrail, the staircase is at the back of the counter, and the handrails are hollow and carved.
Walking to the middle, I looked up and saw a boxy wood-carved frame lamp hanging from the beam of the restaurant, which was very chic.
But the strange thing is that the restaurant is so elegant, and the dishes can smell the fragrance from the outside, but I haven't seen a single customer.
Lausanne swept around, but didn't care so much, and randomly picked a seat and sat down. Ge Li also slowly walked to his seat under Qin Lang's gaze.
The three of them sat down, and the boss immediately walked over, stretched out his finger and pointed to the wall where the vegetable brand was hung, and greeted with a smile.
"Three guest officers, those are all dishes from our restaurant, if you want to eat something, just ask!"
It was a little far away, and Lausanne didn't bother to look at it, and he was thinking about the fragrance just now, so he asked the boss directly.
"Boss, what kind of dish is coming from that smell that just wafted out of your store?"
"Oh~ I guess what the girl is talking about must be the pig's trotters that are being marinated in our store!"
"Okay, then let's have two plates of pig's trotters!"
Lausanne said excitedly.
"Another one called flower chicken, peanuts, and a jar of wine!"
Gori added unceremoniously.
Luosang peeked at Qin Lang and stirred up a small calculation in his heart.
'Order so much, Qin Lang won't be unhappy!, but it's not good to let him break the bank, it's better to give him the spirit stone later, he will definitely use it." ’
Lausanne is penniless, and Goli is considered a hostage, and it is definitely impossible for these two people to settle the bill, so they can only let Qin Lang pay later.
Qin Lang looked indifferent and said to the boss.
"Let's have another plate of shallots mixed with tofu and three bowls of white rice!"
"Okay!"
The owner went to the back kitchen with a smile.
...
The three of them sat around, and the atmosphere was a little awkwardly quiet.
"Ahem, this shop is a little strange! It's a meal now, and it stands to reason that there will be some customers anyway. ”
Lausanne led to the topic, just carried away by the food and didn't think much about it, but now that he has calmed down, he feels a little weird.
"Mm-hmm, but it's not just this shop, the whole city seems to be a little weird!"
Qin Lang said, looked at Gori, and saw that he was sitting quietly drinking tea on the side, and he didn't plan to speak.
"Huh, what's weird?"
Lausanne hadn't paid much attention to the city just now.
"It's noon, but there are still so many vegetable vendors and women in the city. This should be the scene of the hour. ”
Qin Lang noticed these abnormalities as soon as he entered the city, but he never said anything.
"Hmm~ In this way, this River City is really a little unusual!"
Lausanne thought about it carefully, touched his chin, and nodded in affirmation.
"Hahahaha..."
Gorrie burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
Lausanne glared at him, inexplicably.
"Laugh at you guys for being bored, even these mothers-in-law and mother-in-law are so carefully observed. ”
Lausanne gave Gori a blank look, not wanting to talk to him.
Qin Lang had been secretly staring at Golie all the time, feeling that these abnormal things in River City must have something to do with the Spirit Sucking Sect.
...
At this time, the underworld.
"Qing'er, where are you going?"
"Dad, I... Lausanne is alone, and I am a little worried. ”
"Okay, okay, let's go, but don't interfere too much with Sang'er's training, after all, she will be a demon lord in the future. ”
"Children have their own measure, dad, please rest assured!"
...
"Here comes the food!"
The boss shouted and served the food.
Lausanne drooled and couldn't wait to taste it.
The rich sweet fragrance overflows Lausanne's mouth, and the soft and glutinous taste makes Lausanne want to stop.
"It's delicious, you guys taste it!"
Lausanne said excitedly, not forgetting to continue eating.
Gorri didn't speak, but ate to herself. Qin Lang smiled at Lausanne, but he didn't move his chopsticks and stopped the boss who finished serving.
"Boss, I want to ask you something. ”
"Hmm, what's the matter, please tell me!"
"That's right, I see that the dishes in your store are full of flavor and flavor, and now it's time to eat, but why is the business in the store so cold. ”
The boss sighed with a long sigh.
"Alas~ Guest officer, you don't know anything! We have a lot of strange things happening in Hecheng during this time, and the people in the city don't dare to go out too early, and they don't dare to come out for daily activities until dawn. ”
"Oh, I don't know what's weird?"
The boss hesitated, hesitating whether to tell Qin Lang.
Qin Lang also saw that the boss was worried, so he comforted him.
"Boss, don't worry, I'm a disciple of the Xianyun Sect, I guess you should have heard of our Xianyun Sect. ”
"Ah! It turned out to be a disciple of the Xianyun Sect, no wonder his bearing is extraordinary, it's really rude. ”
"Where, I just hope that the boss will tell me about the strange things in the city. ”
The shopkeeper saw that Qin Lang was a disciple of the Xianyun Sect, and he no longer concealed it.
"Well, it all started a month ago. ”
"The first thing that happened was the street in the middle of the city, and the vendors got up early that morning to set up their stalls as usual. ”
"There is a river on that street, and there are a lot of stalls selling small things next to the river. That river is normal on weekdays, what Shangyuan Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and many people go to the river to put lights.
But that day, somehow, all of a sudden, the water in the river spurted out, forming a lot of water columns. ”
The vendors were a little scared at first, but then they felt novel, and after spraying for a long time, nothing happened, so they were bold and gathered a few people to gather around to see what was going on. ”
As soon as the men approached the riverbank, the water suddenly joined together, and fell down suddenly, and swept them in..."
The boss shook his head sadly.
Lausanne listened in a trance, and felt that what the boss said was a bit incredible.
Qin Lang frowned, glanced at Gori, who was eating peanuts, and guessed that he must know something...
"And then? What happened to the vendors who were swept away?"
Lausanne asked.
The boss clapped his hands together and continued.
"What the hell is that. The rest of the vendors who didn't go over to see saw the water column sweeping people away, how dare they stay, they all spread their feet and ran. ”
At that time, it was the time to rush to the market, and some of the people who went to the market saw it and ran with it, and some of the people who didn't see it asked and ran back. ”
"It wasn't until midnight that people saw that there was no movement in the river, and normal order was restored. But the few street vendors who were swept away did not even have their bodies left. The family didn't dare to look for it, and no one dared to go near the river anymore... It is said that there are water ghosts who have come to arrest people. ”
